Has anyone here seen Gertrude?

Ahhhh, the life of chickens and other feathered friends.  Out enjoying the sunshine and running around with a sense of urgency.  Who or what are they looking for??  A grub, the perfect corn kernel, leftover cabbage and greens?  The white chicken told me they are trying to find their wild-n-crazy chicken friend, Gertrude, who often wanders in the countryside and looks for greener pastures.  Naughty chicken!

The Chorus Line

When I saw these cows coming towards me, I felt like they were about to start dancing and singing in a chorus line.  But instead they are chomping the grass like a giant lawnmower.  As I continue painting cows, my goal is to focus on simplifying shapes to become more painterly.  All these legs of the Chorus Line can make my head spin!
